Amarinder Singh resigns from Congress; announces new party Punjab Lok Congress

The Hindu  

Former Punjab Chief Minster and Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday tendered his resignation from the party on the pretext that he was hurt by conduct of party president Sonia Gandhi and her children — Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra Gandhi. Amarinder said “.despite my profound reservations and over the unanimous advice of almost all the MPs from Punjab, you chose to appoint an acolyte of the Pakistani deep state Navjot Sidhu who had publicly hugged the Pakistan Army Chief Gen Bajwa and Prime Minister Imran Khan, as the President of the Punjab Congress Committee. Amarinder also revealed the name of his party as ‘Punjab Lok Congress’. “The Election Commission has no objection to the proposed name, Punjab Lok Congress,” he said, adding that the party will be formally launched later.
